The duo worked alongside one another on the King's Cross St Pancras Underground station project, which opened to the public at the weekend.

Mark Cowlard, partnership director for Atkins, said: "The key for us as project managers was to make sure London Underground's aspirations were met whilst not doing anything that would interfere with them running their railway."

He added that the project itself was very technical and was only successful due to the close working of the London Underground with the technical teams, contractors and other organisations such as English Heritage – which functions to not only promote the historic environment of England but protect it too.

Under the ABB partnership, the development process was divided up into two stages by the firms - the first of which was finished back in 2006 relating to the capacity upgrade.
